During an examination of a male driver, the examiner identifies an inguinal hernia that is non-reducible. Upon questioning, the driver reports that he has had this for quite some time (it was originally diagnosed a few years ago during a CDL exam), however he has noticed that it recently has become mildly painful with exertion but getting worse in the past week. The examiners best course of action would be to?
a) Temporarily disqualify the driver and refer him for further medical evaluation.
b) Have the driver perform a Functional Capacity Evaluation to determine if he is able to lift greater than 50 lbs.
c) Certify the driver for 1 year.
d) Certify the driver for 2 years.
